eLearners.com Celebrates National Distance Learning Week with Comprehensive Online Learning Resources

Hoboken, NJ (PRWEB) November 12, 2007 -- Online education is growing at an unprecedented rate with more than a million adults getting a college degree online. To celebrate the growing trend of distance learning, the United States Distance Learning Association created National Distance Learning week, which runs from November 12th-16th. The week is designed to promote and showcase distance education programs and resources. One of those resources is eLearners.com, a comprehensive and free online education destination filled with hundreds of pages of "how-to guides", financial aid resources, online communities, course and program descriptions and much more.

"More than one and a half million people are taking classes entirely online everyday," said Andrew Gansler, President of eLearners.com. "People are turning to online education because it's a high-quality education from home. By getting a degree online students don't have to drive to class, they can study in the early morning or evening and they can work at their own pace."

Navigating through the world of online learning can be confusing, so eLearners.com has created several guides to help explain it all:
